> he's merely a high ranking general of Morgoth/Melkor (name depends on the published version of Return of the King where he gets namedropped once, Morgoth being the one used later and the intended one) Well Melkor is his "true" name (his Valar name), Morgoth is a name given to him by the elves, meaning "The Enemy" in Sindarin.
